| Re: alternative to camping
I love hostelling. The missus and I go all the time. I do find it disappointing though when the simple, decent, rural ones shut down and big, posh, swanky ones in places like Manchester pop up instead. The hostel at Keld at the head of Swaledale springs to mind. I believe another of our favourites, Dufton, in the North Pennines, is trembling in the shadow of the axe. Boo.
